I may have possibly been exposed to HIV numerous times within a four month period. I began seeing someone in January. We were together until April 25th. In Feb I got a yeast infection. It cleared up with treatment just fine. April 8th I got another one and it has persisted for 10 weeks despite Monistat 3, 7, and three doses of Diflucan. I was tested in both April and May - each time HIV negative. I have read that persistent yeast infections can be an early sign but I haven't been able to find out HOW early?? It seems that most are saying that this type of infection would not present until after my antibody test came back positive. The man I was dating was stuck with a needle at work (he works in a prison). I know it will be somewhere between July and October before I can confidently confirm whether Neg or Poz. I just would really like to know how likely it is that a yeast infection that doesn't clear up would come SOOOO early with HIV infection...Help!!!
